New website launched called Tip Share  This new website offers people with dementia an easy way to source and share Tips that will help them in their everyday lives – especially (but not only) in the time of the pandemic. All the Tips are contributed by people with dementia. The project demonstrates their resilience, wisdom and adaptability in coming up with their own strategies to ‘outmaneuver dementia’. The Tip-Share project was made possible through uplift funding from the National Lottery Community Fund for projects during the pandemic. We already have over 600 Tips, which cover 9 themes:

• The coronavirus situation
• Life at home
• Life outside home
• Emotional and family life
• Friendships and peer support
• Connecting and communicating
• Money and legal matters
• Health issues and symptoms
• Work paid and unpaid

With the help of our advisors, George Rook and Dr Wendy Mitchell (both living with dementia), we have worked very hard to ensure that the new website is as accessible as it can possibly be for people with dementia. They can look though the Tips, send in their own, and even request new Tips on issues they are grappling with. For further information contact philly@myid.org.uk
